Don't post up stuff about yourself if you can't handle opposing opinions and only want to hear people tell you how cool you are. It's an open forum, expect differing opinions.

No one is butthurt, I just gave some opinion back is all. :thumbsup:

Guy has a Raptor questioning if I need all that, and I can't toss it back a bit?...

Which dash cam did you go with? Like it?

I have been running a Lukas 7900 for awhile now. I have one wired up into pretty much every vehicle.

Here is a clip I pulled form my F350 I had prior to this truck that had a starter issue that would show up once in a blue moon. It will give you an idea of the quality of the video/audio. There are some "superior" models of Lukas dash cams but this one with a dark polarized lens is the least conspicuous. Other models have wifi, to view video on a phone, or screens on the back side, but they weren't for me.

Camper shell on, tires were ordered Toyo Open Country R/T 35x12.50R22, they get picked up on Monday to wait for the wheels

what made you chose this over an f250 diesel?

I think it drives a lot nicer then the F350. I do feel a slight drop in power but once I delete and tune it I'll have plenty. I think it looks better both interior and exterior. I have been in a Super Duty for over 9 years now, a 07 Dually 350, 09 250, 11 250, and the last 13 350. I was also bored with Ford and their interior feel and drive.

Wow....in for progress.

OP, do me a favor, once your truck is done throw your Z28 on the car trailer and go take some pics of your setup. That way I can make it my desktop background and have it be motivation to get a badass setup like that.

Update: I got some LED tail lights that will be getting blacked out before they go on. Gave my new tires the Tuf-Shine Treatment ("Permanent" Tire Seal/Shine), and the BIG news the Wheels have arrived! Hoping to get the tires mounting this weekend to test fit. 4-6" Cognito Lift coming soon.

I think they will fit with just a little trimming... :D

HOLY SHIT, those are heavy. That is insane, hahaha. Looks good though! Curious as to how long that tire shine will last.

You'll love the toyo RT's.. It's what I run on my truck.

I'm kinda shocked you only went with a 35" and only a 12.50.. For the size lift your going with I would have done 37's and 13.50's They look way better and give a better ride vise the low profile you're going with now..

I run 37x13.50x20's on my truck with only a 2.5" level/lift kit..

I envy guys who can run 37's with a level, lol. My truck can't even fit 35's with a level!
